Continuing with the Madrid City Council and DocumentaMadrid's commitment to openness and decentralization, this year we are giving a fresh boost to the project begun in past years of brining the festival programming to the city's local neighborhoods. We firmly believe it necessary to provide an impetus for the promotion and spread of documentary film to cultural centers and public spaces throughout Madrid in order to give everyone in the city a chance to see a wide variety of cinema. To this end, we have designed a program with some of the feature films in our competitive sections, including titles from a wide range of aesthetic and thematic backgrounds. Films that are sure to stir open and constructive debates between audiences and the films' directors, who will be on hand for some of the screenings.
